MUST DO

1.Read warnings in manual (pages 6-8).

2.If you have any questions after reading this manual or problems regarding the SeaLife digital camera, housing or accessories follow these instructions: Do not contact dealer; do this: •Check trouble shooting guide in this

manual or on the SeaLife website www.sealife-cameras.com

•If this does not solve the problem contact SeaLife Customer Service: USA (856) 866-9192. For other countries, contact the Sealife national distributor. For a complete list, see the above website.

3.Use only the following AA batteries: •SeaLife Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)

1800mAh or higher rechargeable batteries. Carefully follow charging instructions.

•Lithium non-rechargeable batteries. Lithium batteries last the longest of all batteries but they are expensive and they are not rechargeable.

•We do not recommend using Alkaline batteries due to their short battery life, however new high-energy alka- line batteries, like Duracell Ultra, have a longer battery life and can be used with the SeaLife digital camera. Even high-energy alkaline batteries do not last as long as SeaLife Ni-MH batteries. Do not use standard alka- line batteries.

•Replace batteries when battery power status indicator on camera is down to one bar.

•Turn camera power or LCD monitor OFF when not using camera to preserve battery power.

•Always use freshly charged batteries. Rechargeable batteries can dis-

charge at room temperature up to 10% per day. Store batteries in plastic bag or container in refrigerator or cool, dry place.

4.Use only the following brands

of SD memory cards that have been tested to work with SeaLife cameras: •SanDisk, Kingston, Lexar, Panasonic,

PYN, Ritek, Pretec and Kodak (registered trademarks of respective companies).

5.Keep main O-Ring and housing perfectly clean.

•Clean housing and main O-ring with fresh water after every use.

•Do not remove O-ring. Do not grease.

•Store camera and housing only after careful cleaning and when totally dry.

6.Never let any moisture or dirt get inside housing when opening. •Only open and load the housing in

dry cool air, such as inside an air- conditioned room.

7.For good underwater pictures you need:

•Clear water conditions.

•Control your buoyancy before taking picture.

•Get as close as possible to subject (ideal distance is 2’ to 6’), (0.6 to 1.8 meters). Minimum shooting distance is 3.5’ (107cm)

•Use optional SeaLife Macro Lenses/Filters for superb details and vibrant colors, inside 3.5’ (107cm) shooting distance.

•For best underwater pictures, use one or two SeaLife External Flashes.
